Agni is the name of the protagonist of Fire Punch, a manga from 2016 by Tatsuki Fujimoto. He has the blessing of instant regeneration and at some point he becomes engulfed in flames that never go out. Due to his blessing he's constantly burning and regenerating himself so he's always on fire.
Sounds like someone saying "Agony" in a slurred way.
Lovely name to give to a cartoon character or video gamer character, because of its meaning that is. Giving that name to your child might be a little silly in my opinion.
I am a native English speaker and I disagree that it's pronounced like acne, at least where I live (mid-Atlantic coast of U.S.). The vowel sound of the A is different. AHG-nee vs. ACK-nee.
Agnimon (or Agunimon) from 'Digimon' bears this name.
I first heard this name used in Avatar: The Last Airbender, as noted above, since it is the name of Agni Kai, which literally means "fire meeting", as according to this site and Avatar Wiki, Agni means "fire" in Sanskrit and kai means "meeting" in Japanese. This is quite a cool name, a great character name in my opinion.
In English Agni is pronounced similarly to the word "acne". Not that this issue has a bearing on the name when used in other languages. It is simply something to consider given globalization.
Agni is a feminine Greek name. It comes from the Greek adjective αγνός (agnos) which means pure, clean, chaste, unspoilt.
There is a character called Agni in the manga/anime series "Kuroshitsuji" (Black Butler) by Yana Toboso. He is the butler of an Indian prince Soma Asman Kadar. He is called "The Right Hand of God" for his curry making skills and is able to stand equal in fight with a demon.
In the animated television series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" the Fire Nation has a traditional one-on-one battle called an Agni Kai, or Fire Duel.
